OH LORD YES! Of course, PS3 fanboys might swell with rage. But we care not for that.

tisk tisk From Software why must you give the Weebols hope

Well, 3D Dot Heroes never looked like it could only be done on tEH cELl but I'm more interedted in when it will get a Western release.

How about Wii? The game is technically possibly on there as well. I don't know why From Software aren't trying to go multiplatform as they would definitely generate a massive revenue from the Wii and 360 along with PS3.

@KingSigy Probably no. I don't think the wii could handle it. Too high def.

PLEASE make it multiplat. I really really want this game.

Awesome! I hope this happens this game looks really cool.

Hcapt:
Sure, Zelda and Nintendo fans would love to get their hands on this, but since this game is almost at the point of ripping off Zelda (with very similar gameplay, map, weapons and so on), I am not sure Nintendo would allow them to publish it on the Wii.

I think it's weird they're not sued by Nintendo already :p

i dont thing the xbox 360 cant handle 3d dot games coz the hardware is crap

make it happen make it happen make it happen. this and last guardian are really the only games that are drawing me to the ps3 right now.

@ Body Break

The Gameboy would have been a better exaple, but DS is the clear winner of the handheld space. It has 2000 games to the PSP's 600, and a gamer can buy the DS without feeling like he's missing much on any of the other handheld platforms. The DS is an easy choice for best handheld gaming platform (for me at least), and thus a person like me wins when there is only one logical platform to choose. I only wish that were also true for consoles.

I really think this game doesn't make far without Nintendo saying 'no'

Also, JIM IT'S A ZELDA RIPOFF AHAHAHAHAHHAHAH YOU CANT STOP ME FROM SAYING IT.

There, that should fuel Jim into making another trolling post meant to bring in more hits

Sure, why not spread the love?

"I'm not sure how viable a 360 version of a game, that won't sell in the US, will be, but it certainly would be nice."

Aren't you just a little bundle of optimism?

From Software's last game sold well enough that the publisher underestimated its required stock and had to send extra to retailers. As a man who prides himself on research, should you not be a little more prudent in your predictions?

I've not had the import itch for a game more than retro game challenge 2 in a while, so it's nice that I might get a chance to play it!

In before FANBOY RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

I want this and its possible on my 360...so I must have it.

@Hcapt

Clearly you have no understanding of the concept of economics. One console would rake the gamer and the developers over the coals. The DS might be the best handheld, but it isn't the only handheld and thus it HAD to be competitive, it HAD to be good or it would fail. Remove the PSP and another handheld gaming platform and the DS could have done whatever it wanted.

People like you make me just groan. You don't GET it. Get your heads out of the clouds of idealism and back down on the earth where companies, no matter how much we like to think they're all nice and full of sugar and rainbows, would jump at the first chance to gouge the gamers and developers extra money since they wouldn't have another choice in game platform. SONY, Nintendo and MS are only loyal in so far that they HAVE to act as such in order to retain any marketshare and brand loyalty.

@ Drakenguard

You make the assumption that market competition results in the evolution of consoles. This is a false assumption, one that you probably made observing the buisness practices of non-game centric companies like Sony and Microsoft. Consoles evolve because consumers become bored if they don't and consoles can die even without competition simply by refusing to innovate. I am well aware of your arguement as it is one of used to agree with, until I realized that it made the false assumption that consumers would continue to buy consoles if the companies that make them steadfastedly stuck to old strategies well after the content became stale. Consumers are not that stubborn, and companies like Nintendo are forced to innovate not because of competition but because their userbase will slowly fall into oblivion even in the complete void of competition.

In fact, direct competition for market share is exactly what lead to Sony and Microsoft competing directly with eachother over an arguably shrinking userbase, while offering very little innovation.

Get out of the fantasy and learn the reality, no matter how counterintuitive it might be.

I am thinking that this can't be a full retail game. I would say that the novelty runs out within first 45 minutes of game play. Nice gimmick and interesting art style though.... I just can't think how you want to play the blocky sprites for more than 15 minutes. Not so impressed after my initial 5 seconds "OMG, that's cute" moment when I saw this for the first time.

Oh yeah please bring it to my big red rings of doom console : D i want to play as "green hat"

PLEASE make a 360 version, goddamnit! PLZ, PLEASE, PUHLEEEZE.

Oh and the Wii wouldnt have ahope in hell of running this game in 3d.

Been playing the JP release. The game is amazing, there are a lot of jRPG jokes everywhere, and the gameplay is solid Zelda (akin to Link to the Past). In fact, its an obviously improved and refined overhead Zelda experience, and as a whole is lot better then even the excellent Zelda DS games. The game is seriously tons of fun so far, I'm at the 5th dungeon right now collecting 'orbs'.

However, a lot of these jRPG jokes will probably be lost on many Western gamers. There are some parodies that make reference to Metal Gear Solid, Megaman, Bionic Commando, Demon's Soul, but the VERY vast majority are towards jRPGs- some of them esoteric or not well known to non-Japanese audiences. There is no game joke referencing Western games.

This is a game aimed at nostalgic Japanese RPG gamers.

It doesn't take away from the fun, but you will lose something in the translation. The parodies is what makes the game, playing the game without knowing the reference is like watching a comedy skit and not knowing what the joke is about.

The only way this makes sense for a 360 port is if the US PS3 version sells well, there needs to be evidence that a 360 port will generate money. 360 presence is small in Japan, a 360 port will be primarily targeted for US audiences exclusively.

I get the feeling we're going to see a lot less "zelda plagiarism" whining now.
